Larry the Downing Street cat took four months to catch his first rodent - and now his status as chief mouser is under threat again with the news that the prime minister was forced to take tackling mice into his own hands at a recent dinner.

David Cameron reportedly threw cutlery at a mouse which interrupted a gathering at Number 10 with fellow ministers Iain Duncan Smith and Owen Paterson.

Duncan Smith is said to have asked: "Where's Larry when you need him?" but sadly Larry was asleep.

The incident comes shortly after Downing Street was forced to defend Larry from anonymous briefing about his predatory instinct.

Heres my song about Larry. I think Larry should be removed from the danger of flying cutlery, and given a loving and nice new home.

Larry is unable to draw the fine line between rodents and residents when, after all, each is both.

Larry, let's make this simple.  There's maybe a cat treat if you get a mouse. 

OR you can have bangers and mash and a pint for good measure (I'm buying) every time you nail the guy in the expensive suit with the plastic smile.  If you nail the shorter but almost identical guy named Osborne, I'll make it fish and chips.
Good luck, Larry!

Larry the cat was only following the protocol of his comrades, sleeping on the job, which is the raison d'etre of the circles in which it has the misfortune to be amongst. As for the RAT, it takes a rat to know a RAT???

From his markings, Larry looks to be a relative of my cat, Poppy. In the time he's been at No.10, Poppy has caught 53 animals, mainly wood mice but including a frog, a rat and various birds of various ages. Good hunters are born not made. Poor Larry doesn't seem to be fit for purpose.
